Wallace Craig

Wallace Craig (Toronto, 20 de julho de 1876 – 1954) foi um psicólogo experimental e cientista do comportamento estadunidense de origem canadense. Ele forneceu uma estrutura conceitual para o estudo da organização do comportamento e é considerado um dos fundadores da etologia. Craig estudou experimentalmente a expressão comportamental da emoção, a maneira como as tendências comportamentais inatas e aprendidas são integradas e como os comportamentos vocais e sociais são organizados. Ele encorajou uma visão do comportamento como um processo integrado com graus de liberdade evolucionária, motivacional, experiencial, social e ecológica. Essa perspectiva integrativa ajudou a moldar a ciência comportamental moderna.
